2021-10-30 22:30–22:55, Room 3

Have you ever wanted to share a multimedia biography of a scientist from a diverse background? Meet sciencestories.io, powered by Wikidata! We will demo sciencestories.io and explain how contributions to Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and English Wikipedia help extend and improve these stories. We will go over the other types of resources that can be added to stories like Vimeo videos, YouTube videos, IIIF images, works from HathiTrust, Internet Archive and more. Join this session to celebrate stories of amazing people.
